#7 Kurt Angle - WrestleMania 21

The Olympic Gold Medallist Kurt Angle has been through many character transformations since beginning his professional wrestling journey, and most of the time he’s found success. However, above all of his other gimmicks, our favourite by far was his ‘wrestling machine’ persona from back in 2005 and 2006.
Angle went around kicking ass and taking names for months, which eventually led to a showdown with Mr WrestleMania Shawn Michaels in Los Angeles. To this day the match they put on is still considered to be one of the best in the history of the event, and the everlasting image of Angle twisting HBK’s ankle until he finally gives in is iconic.
